Excellent
I travels solo to Serengeti, the trip was organised by Simba who was always available to help and adjust the itinerary to my preferences.
For the tour, I was with Daniel . He was patient, kind and always willing to help other tour operators when the need arises. Travelling as a female solo traveler, I felt safe under his care.
I saw the big 5 within my tour( 3 nights and 4 days) . I would recommend Daniel as a tour operator for Serengeti and Simba to plan the itinerary .

Highlights of Cape Town with Peter Adams was two thumbs up
We kicked off our trip with a half-day Cape Town and Table Mountain tour, followed by a full-day Cape Peninsula tour on day two with Peter Adams as our guide. Travelling all the way from Singapore, my main goal was to immerse myself in South Africa’s rich history, culture, and natural beauty—and Peter delivered on every count. He is warm, approachable, and incredibly knowledgeable, enriching our journey with fascinating insights and firsthand context at every stop.
Highlights from our first day included exploring the organic market, where we discovered fresh local produce and artisan oils—an eye-opening experience! We also enjoyed a guided walk through the city’s historical spots, the Company’s Garden, and Camps Bay. Although high winds temporarily closed the Table Mountain cable car, Peter seamlessly adapted by driving us to Signal Hill’s paragliding launch area, giving us a fantastic bird’s-eye view of the city.
We were delighted to have Peter guide us again on the second day. Thanks to his smart timing and proactive planning, we made it up Table Mountain on our second attempt! The rest of the day was equally spectacular, featuring the Boulders Beach penguins and the breath-taking Cape of Good Hope.
South Africa’s natural beauty and nature reserves left me truly speechless. Peter’s patience, effort, and depth of knowledge made this trip unforgettable. I had an incredible time visiting your beautiful country, and whenever I return, Peter will definitely be my first choice of guide.

Handled everything we needed!
Thanks Loreto and Team for setting us up on a last minute safari after Kilimanjaro. Your knowledge and support were seamless and we wouldn't have had this experience without you. Everything went smoothly.

very good
Our guide was Francis, and he was absolutely brilliant at tracking down both the route and the wildlife. Whenever a new sighting was announced over the radio, he would race to the spot with incredible speed—we were amazed at how he could find his way across the vast, featureless savanna without any obvious landmarks! On the day before we left Kenya, we finally got to see a leopard just as we had hoped; we were actually the first ones to arrive after hearing the radio alert! We are so grateful to Francis. He was also incredibly funny, making the entire trip a perfect experience!

Amazing stay with Whisting Travel
The travel agency is extremely attentive; they provide a lot of assistance right from the moment you step off the plane
Our guide, Michael, was extremely professional; during our safari, we saw many of the animals we had hoped to spot!
You can always put your faith in Michael—every moment of waiting brings a pleasant surprise. We hardly ever had to worry about the itinerary; we could always trust his judgment! A standout moment was watching the wildebeest crossing the Mara River: he accurately predicted exactly where they would cross, so we waited there early on, and the herd ended up crossing right beside us—offering a truly up-close, first-person view
There is so much more I could say, but Safari Whisting Travel truly provided a hassle-free experience. The hotels we stayed at were fantastic, and the value for money was excellent! I compared them with other agencies, and Whisting stands out as a great choice in terms of both service and value.
Linlin, our point of contact, was very professional; she planned our entire itinerary, and I am extremely satisfied with the arrangements.
I look forward to another chance to stay together.

Highly recommended，It was absolutely wonderful
Greater provided us with a SIM card, which was very convenient, and their service was very attentive, caring about our Safari experience the entire time. Our guide, Jackson, was very experienced and showed us spectacular scenes such as hunting, eating, and antelope crossing the river. At the same time, I thought the value for money was excellent, and the accommodations along the way were all quite good. I think I will always cherish this place, and I will come back if I have the chance.

Amazing company and people = awesome safari
Unbelievable experience. The recent safari we went on with Heart of Africa exceeded all our expectations. Early on in the planning process we provided Ephata and Leanne with our itinerary (wishlist) based on our budget and objectives - their helpful suggestions and fine tuning meant it was all we could hope for and more. As an example, the great migration was on the top of our list and the suggestion to move to the Mara Kati Kati camp which was closer to the river was a great option. Not only was the camp itself a great place to stay but the location meant we saved an hour each day in travel.
Ephata’s experience and knowledge proved invaluable when locating animals, especially the big 5, which we got to see and felt incredibly lucky to have done so. Ephata was great company and we felt very well looked after by him and his son, El Bariki, who joined us during our safari. We felt safe at all times and the suggestions along the way were appreciated - he always managed to find the best spots for viewing and picnics and incredibly we saw 4 river crossings thanks to his patience and knowledge. We also had many fun moments, shared stories and laughs along the way.
The suggested info from Leanne for packing was very helpful in deciding what to take with us and we thoroughly enjoyed meeting her in person - she was always available to answer any questions before and during our trip. A person in our group had a birthday while there and Leanne arranged for a cake at one of the camps, which arrived at our table with the staff singing and dancing, an amazing and very thoughtful experience.
We have no hesitation in recommending Heart of Africa to anyone thinking about going on safari in Tanzania. From pickup to drop off we were made to feel like part of the family and were sad to say goodbye - we left there wanting to do it all again.

The Africa , we wanted to see & more
Kate & I, just completed an amazing tour of Southern Africa, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Botswana, & Namibia. The whole experience was incredibly enjoyable, from the breathtaking scenery and beautiful places to the wonderful atmosphere throughout the tour. Everything was well organised, and we truly enjoyed every moment of it.
Cape Town is such a stunning & amazing city. Tayb our Cape Town Guide, made the experience even more special and memorable. Highly recommended! Huge Thumbs up.
If you are going to Southern Africa, give Africa Incoming a call, they won't let you down, they arranged everything perfectly. Thnx Dudes for proving a perfect trip to Southern Africa, especially Ronnie, who made our trip most memorable.

Nice Safari Experience
I booked the entire tour quite late, but Jungleroam Safaris provide a safe and nice experience for us. Our tour guide Jackson is a very good driver, taking us to a lot of good spots to see animals.

Champion is everything you'd want in a guide: experienced, passionate, funny and friendly
After reading the reviews on SafariBookings, I was fully expecting Champion to be some seasoned older guy. Turns out the person waiting for us at the airport was a young man!
Champion may be young, but he is seriously experienced. He'd just casually go "uhh, animal there... animal here," and sure enough, we'd look over and there it was. So we ticked off 4 of the Big 5 on day one, and had all five by day two ;)
Once we got up north, he seemed a little worried and told us he wasn't an expert on the wildebeest river crossing. And then, just as casually, we saw it over and over again. The first time, he got a tip from other guides and we raced all the way there. The second time, Champion just had a hunch, picked a spot and waited, and before long wildebeest and zebras were crossing together right in front of us. Front-row seats, all to ourselves ✅. After that we also caught elephants crossing and a herd of wildebeest pulling a U-turn.
P.S. He even knows the Chinese names of the animals! Thanks to the Chinese guests before us who left him an animal guidebook. If each of us teaches Champion just a little, he'll be a Chinese expert in no time!
He truly loves this job. Since I'm a corporate drone with barely any time off, our itinerary was tight and included two long-haul days of around 11-12 hours each. And Champion, with his endless energy, still found time to wash and clean the car at night, then showed up at 6:30am sharp to take us out on safari from early morning until sunset. Only on the last day did he mention that he actually prefers leaving at 6am: "There are very few jeeps then, and more animals are out hunting or eating." Too bad every hotel only started serving breakfast at 6am...
He never runs out of stories. Every animal we came across came with a handful of fun facts, and whenever the long drives got a bit dull, chatting with Champion was always the answer.
Best of all, by the afternoon game drive I was usually wiped out, and Champion, who can apparently do everything, would offer to take the animal shots for me with my telephoto lens. He says he'll buy one of his own once he's saved up enough... he's seriously learning photography at the moment...
Champion is the most helpful guide I've ever met (not that I've met any others, lol). He knows pretty much every guide we ran into, and a lot of our sightings were thanks to them all sharing tips with each other. I asked how he knows everyone. According to him, if you don't know someone the first time, by the second time you've all been listening to music and singing together in the drivers' room, so of course you do!
When we came across people whose car had broken down, Champion stopped to help fix it. He said if we just drive past today, someone will drive past us next time. And then, casually as ever, he got their car running again 🤯!
Also, whatever you do, don't miss Champion's dad jokes hahaha! They were my favorite part.
Our time together was far too short, but he was everything you'd want in a guide: experienced, passionate, funny and friendly. I hope he gets that telephoto lens, and a new jeep, very soon!
